I was just at the Nokia store in the Uberlandia Center Shopping mall, Uberlandia, Brasil. (they haven't renamed the Nokia store, the MS store yet, but soon). They have the 640XL in stock. It is a nice phone. Side by side with the 1320, and the 640XL feels good in the hand. The weight is very nice, and the screen is gorgeous. They don't have the 640 DTV yet, they said soon.

Darn i had the money all saved and just waiting on the phone to arrive on at&t then Bam! Ahuge repair bill came along courtesy of Ford Motor Company now im broke. Well maybe someday the phone will be available and I'll have money all at rhe same point in time:(
